The problem with the half black, half transparent navigation bar is the launcher. The stock launcher, CND Launcher, and Trebuchet do not modify the wallpaper or screen size. However Nova Launcher does. SO this Full transparent status bar and navigation bar only works with Nova Launcher. I have not had time to look into this. If someone knows what Nova Launcher does to modify the screen/wallpaper size, this would be an easy mod to the other launchers.

Good find. I couldn't think of why my original edits would cause any issues. Similar to how certain launchers would "override" transparency in gingerbread.

"From the root of the SystemUI directory, open res/values/colors.xml. Find the entry for “status_bar_background” and change it’s value to whatever you want. In mine I’ve set it to “a6000000” which black but 35% translucent. The first 2 characters control the opacity on a scale from 0-255 where 0 is completely transparent and 255 is fully opaque. That value is then stated in hexadecimal format; e.g. 0=00, 255=ff."

Did the edits. Transparent show at the bottom when curtain is pulled. When nav buttons are pressed, background stays as if still pressed, no transparancy at top. Any one making progress? Still using nova with tranquil v6

the only change i did not make in reference to the diy instructions was in phonestatus.smali

replace the 2 lines underneath with this:

move v2, v1

move v5, v1

because it keeps force closing systemui when booting up. any help would be appreciated.

This is very interesting....thank you. The reason I say this is that it is the exact same result that happened when I attempted to help another rom dev recently.

I have not ever heard back if he found the issue but one of my guesses was that the wallpaper image itself wasn't large enough. Could you try a different sized background please and report back?

The smali edit should be the same for you on 4.0.1. Actually this one that I did in the other thread should work. *note it also has my circle battery mod.

Sorry it took so long but i finally had time to load clockwork. Just flashed this systemUI and it works, but nothing is transparent. Loaded on stock 4.0.1. Ahh i just thought, i wonder if i should delete the odex file. Duh, let me try.

Yes now it works, silly me. Thanks mang!

Not only does it work, but both bars are transparent with no weird issues.

good morning ...
compliments for your work !
can you upload your file ? I like very very much
tks mate

For all hundreds of people complaining about App2sd probs - do you really need it ? since switching to from gingerbread I left it behind me and my phone is faster and smoother than ever.. have tons of apps with no worries yet..

worth the fuss?

Anyone know when new CM9 features will show up? I browsed the nexus galaxy android dev forum and they've got toons of cool new tricks..
Hopefully it'll trickle down our way or I can figure out how to copy some over

If anyone out there has made a mod to SytemUI.apk that can give a transparent taskbar to our CM9 ICS, please message me !
